Learning a language while living im Ausland is quite the adventure. It’s simultaneously incredibly difficult while surprisingly easy, completely lackluster but full of hilarious mistakes.

I’ve been asked time and time again what being immersed in and learning German was like, especially during my first few months on exchange. I couldn’t really give a straight answer; language immersion is a bizarre experience that one can only endure in order to imagine and relate. However a large portion of my readership hasn’t had the opportunity of language immersion, so my answer was far from satisfying.

So, what do you think ?
